The newly-rebooted state Democratic Party is going after state GOP Chairman Ed Cox in a pretty clever release headlined “Ed Cox’s Worst Week Ever” and chronicling the rocky path his week took.

“If you see Ed at happy hour this afternoon, buy him an extra martini because, boy oh boy, did he have a bad week,” the release reads, then lists a string of news stories about his “handpicked candidate for governor” Steve Levy living with a convicted felon and helping steer the ex-con Suffolk County business.

The bad news didn’t end there, per the release:

— Cox was forced to have what was certainly an awkward meeting with RNC Chair Michael Steele. Cox’s selection of Steve Levy has reportedly “drawn the ire of RNC officials.” Click

— And to top things off, Cox can’t find a serious candidate to run for Senate. Click
